With the economy tanking even further it is just a matter of time until other shows start to cancel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. The last couple yaers receipts from all knife shows has been way down <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. Best take advantage of the steel offered here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />- just a matter of time until this is all we have. Not a pretty picture <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
You ain't kiddin', and it isn't just knives. This weekend is the traditional time for
The Bellevue Flyfishing Show. The PNW loses again - this stop on the annual tour has been "postponed until 2011". I'll believe it when I see it. When a traditional stop cancels, it's unlikely to rise again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> A combination of poor economic conditions and competition from online retailers are really taking their toll on niche businesses. Local fly shops are boarding up doors on a regular basis, as buyers tap the shops for expertise, but buy online. Hard to pay the rent by selling only the disposables.
